Asthetics or performance

[hackgod]

For my first build should I consider asthetics or performance

[Agent_Niraj]

please tell us full details what u want to build for only CPU or Full PC Build? and what is your budget?

Why not both? Just don't skimp on performance just to get extra RGB or silly things like that.

imo performance maters the most, then when you have a good performing PC you can later upgrade some parts like the case for better looks.

Always performance. Prioritizing performance doesn't mean you end up with an ugly rig. Worst case scenario, some of the colors don't match.

That's a screwy question.  Always go for performance and then when you get the system that you want, running the way that you want, then you can make it look pretty by adding RGB lighting.

There is a way to do both, get corsairs rgb aio, this baby is both beautiful and also keeps the cpu cool. For the gpu as well go with something like a asus strix card, it has a shit ton of rgb and that beefy cooling will help you get the best overclocks. Buy led rgb strips, they're really cheap and wil really jazz up things. Cablemod custom cables can also be considered

Always simplicity for your first build.

 

Avoid RGB, AIO and other water/liquid cooling.

 

To save money avoid overclocking unless you feel a little brave or have plenty of cash, no point trying to build a budget OC rig.

 

For your first build stick to air cooling with a simple two fan in and one exhaust, this should end up slight positive pressure when GPU and PSU are factored in.

 

You can get a beefy air cooler and a OCing mobo and cpu. Try basic OC stuff and learn for your next build where you can step it up a gear.
